Bohemian Art Glass Vase – Designed by Josef Hospodka for Chřibská Sklárna – 1960s/70s Description: For sale is an iconic and highly sculptural piece of Bohemian art glass, a masterpiece of mid-20th-century Czechoslovakian design. This specific model was designed by the renowned glass master Josef Hospodka for the prestigious Chřibská Glassworks. The vase is crafted using the sophisticated Sommerso technique, featuring a vibrant color gradient that transitions from a rich cranberry pink (fuchsia) at the rim to a deep amethyst purple at the core, all encased in a thick, heavy layer of clear crystal. Its organic, hand-modeled shape—often described as the "cat’s head" or "petal" design—is a hallmark of the Sklo Union era. This is a substantial, heavy piece that perfectly captures the Mid-Century Modern (MCM) aesthetic. Has a small chip at the base visible in the photos.
